Asia-Pacific2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported59m ago
Engineers are utilizing a WhatsApp group to coordinate rescue operations following a flash flood that struck the Trishuli valley in Nepal over a week ago. The messaging platform was established by the engineers prior to the disaster, which saw a wall of water, mud, and rock inundate the region.
Rescue workers are currently using the group to guide efforts as they search for potential survivors trapped inside the tunnels of devastated hydropower plants. The initiative serves as a centralized communication channel for the experts tasked with managing the recovery mission in the aftermath of the flooding.
